Episode 22 recap: Xin Qi confesses his feelings to Min Hui.
Xin Qi called and confirmed that the news was true. Xin Qi wants to acquire Bai'an, but Xin Di says it won't be easy since he has been back in the country for less than a year. However, Xin Qi insists on being discharged from the hospital, so Xin Di reluctantly agrees. Xin Di mentions that he has other matters to attend to and will ask Ha Di for help. He entrusts Min Hui with taking care of Xin Qi.
Min Hui reluctantly agrees and brings medicine for Xin Qi. Xin Qi tells Min Hui about the impending sale of Bai'an. Xin Qi explains that he told her to prepare her for it, not to worry her, and assures her that he will handle these matters.
Min Hui is also surprised and worried about the fate of the project she is responsible for if the company is acquired. Min Hui suggests taking Quan Quan home to rest and coming back tomorrow, but Xin Qi insists that staying at the hospital is the same since the guest room is already prepared. Xin Qi pretends to feel unwell and anxious, prompting Min Hui to check on him. Xin Qi hugs Min Hui and asks her to listen to his heartbeat.
Min Hui wishes that Xin Qi could always be this healthy, and Xin Qi promises to work hard for that. Min Hui decides that since he is in good health, she doesn't need to stay with him all the time and goes to rest in the guest room, leaving Xin Qi feeling dejected. The next day, Min Hui comes to wake Xin Qi up. Seeing that he hasn't moved, she becomes worried and quickly checks his heartbeat. It turns out that Xin Qi was just pretending, and Min Hui hurriedly leaves.
Cao Mu goes on a business trip to advance the project. Min Hui calls Cao Mu and informs him about the plan of Farcome Group to sell Bai'an. Cao Mu recalls that CEO He has been actively pushing the project this time and realizes that something is wrong. Cao Mu returns and, together with Min Hui, confronts CEO He to demand an explanation.
CEO He explains that Farcome Group has a new chairman now, and his company's project has encountered issues. The Bai'an project has been burning money, and it is certain that it will be sold. Their goal now is to quickly push for the project's implementation so that they can sell it at a good price during the acquisition. Xin Di arranges a meeting with Min Hui and mentions that Xin Qi has always been a stubborn person who refuses to share what's on his mind.
When he first arrived at their house, his greatest fear was getting sick because he was afraid that the adults would find it troublesome and send him back to the welfare home. So he always had to endure it on his own. The sicker he got, the stronger he became. There was one time when his lips turned purple, but he told her it was okay. Min Hui felt very sorry for him when she heard this. Xin Di mentioned that he would be returning soon and wouldn't have much time to come back in the future. He hoped that Min Hui could take good care of Xin Qi and said that for Xin Qi, she and Quan Quan were the light of his life.
After returning home, Xin Qi noticed the smell of alcohol on Min Hui and became anxious. He asked her who she had been drinking with and felt relieved when he found out it was with Xin Di. Min Hui heard some movement and came out to the living room, where she saw a starry sky. Xin Qi told her that she only needed to focus on her own projects, and he would take care of everything else.
Min Hui mentioned that she had always been carrying everything on her own, and now suddenly someone was telling her that she didn't have to worry about so many things. Xin Qi said that he had been absent for many years, but from now on, he would always be there to protect and support her. Min Hui was deeply moved by his words. Zhou Ru Ji called Min Hui and invited her over.
Zhou Ru Ji explained that she had talked to Yao Zi Zhu, but Yao Zi Zhu misunderstood. Min Hui said that if Yao Zi Zhu could break up with him and make way for Zhou Ru Ji, then for her, loving someone meant giving her wholeheartedly, so she hoped that others would love her wholeheartedly too.
Zhou Ru Ji understood and now she had to prove to Yao Zi Zhu that she also loved her wholeheartedly. Chen Qi Ran was also at the hospital and saw Min Hui. He said that their company was planning to acquire Bai'an. Min Hui could only agree to go out and talk with him. Xin Qi waited for Min Hui at the hospital entrance and quickly had Ha Di follow them when he saw them leaving.
Chen Qi Ran said that he had always liked Min Hui, and even if they couldn't get married, she could still have everything she currently had. Min Hui couldn't agree to that, and when Chen Qi Ran tried to be forceful, she fought back and defeated him.
